CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of European Community Plant VarietyOffice Application No. 2019/1674, for a strawberry variety named ‘Plared15105’, filed on Jul. 9, 2019, the entirety of which is incorporated byreference herein.

BACKGROUND

Disclosed herein is a new and distinct strawberry variety (Fragaria xananassa Duchesne ex Rozier). The varietal denomination of the newvariety is ‘Plared 15105’. The new variety was designated by the breederas breeder number ‘15.04R.199’. The new variety of strawberry wascreated in a breeding program by crossing two parents in 2015 in Cartaya(Huelva), Spain (about 7° W, 37° N, 45 feet elevation). The seed parentwas an undistributed strawberry variety designated ‘09-55’ (unpatented)and the pollen parent was an undistributed strawberry variety designated‘09-25’ (unpatented). Each parent was a selection from a breeder'sprogram and has not been commercialized.

The resulting seedling of the new variety was grown and asexuallypropagated by Alexandre Pierron-Darbonne by runners in Segovia, Spain(3° 59′W., 41° 22′N., 2742 feet elevation) and it was successivelypropagated by runners, first into a screen-house, and after in thefields. Plants of the new variety were further asexually propagated andextensively tested. In order to establish and bring to health theinitial head clones, mother plants that had developed several stolonswere subjected to a heat treatment, or thermotherapy, at 36° C.-37° C.for 3 to 4 weeks. After that treatment, apical meristems were cut anddeveloped (1 apical meristem corresponding to 1 rooting plant) in an invitro culture for 5 to 6 weeks. This propagation and testingdemonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein whichcharacterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type throughsuccessive generations of asexual reproduction.

The growing period in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain (about 7° W, 37° N, 45feet elevation), where the observations were made, is between aboutAugust 4 and December 31 of each year, with a date of first flowering ofSeptember 10, for summer plantings, and between about September 24 andMay 20 of the next year with a date of first flowering of October 17 forfall plantings. The location where the observations were made is Cartaya(Huelva), Spain and the observed characteristics are believed to applyto plants grown under similar conditions of soil and climate elsewhere.

COMPARISON TO THE PARENTS

The new variety ‘Plared 15105’ is distinguished from its seed parent‘0955’ (unpatented) in that the plant of the seed parent shows anupright growth habit, the shape of the base in the terminal leaflet ofthe seed parent is acute, the fruit of seed parent shows a narrow bandwithout achenes and the position of calyx attachment on the fruit of theseed parent is level with surface. In contrast, the new variety ‘Plared15105’ shows a semi-upright growth habit, the shape of the base in theterminal leaflet is obtuse, the fruit shows a medium width band withoutachenes and the position of the calyx attachment in the fruit of newvariety ‘Plared 15105’ is raised.

The new variety ‘Plared 15105’ is distinguished there from its pollenparent ‘09-25’ (unpatented) in that the stipule of the leaf of thepollen parent shows a weak anthocyanin coloration, the fruit of thepollen parent shows a narrow band without achenes and the fruit of thepollen parent shows a medium size cavity. In contrast, the stipule ofthe leaf of the new variety ‘Plared 15105’ shows a weak or absentanthocyanin coloration, the fruit shows a medium width band withoutachenes and a small or absent cavity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY

Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small lettersignify that the name of that color, as used in common speech is applydescriptive. Color names beginning with capital letter designate valuesbased upon The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticulturalsociety, London, England, 1995. The color descriptions and otherphenotypical descriptions may deviate from the stated values anddescriptions depending upon variation in environmental, seasonal,climatic and cultural conditions.

The following detailed description of the new variety is based uponobservations taken of plants and fruits grown under tunnel at the farmLa Mogalla, in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain (7° W., 37° N., 45 feetelevation). Refrigerated plants were planted on August 4 (SummerPlanted) to produce fruit in autumn and fresh plants were planted onSeptember 24 (Fall Planted) to produce fruit during the spring offollowing year; with a sample size of two repetitions and 250 plants perrepetition for each date of planting. After planting, plants were grownunder tunnels in raised beds covered with plastic and with small holesin plastic walls. Water and fertilizer were applied trough dripirrigation.

The new variety is principally propagated by way of runners. Althoughpropagation by runners is presently preferred, other known methods ofpropagating strawberry plants may be used. Strawberries root well aftertransplanting.

The term “blistering” used herein refers to the texture or rugosity orsurface undulation inherent to leaves and is generally a constantcharacteristic.

‘Plared 15105’ is a fully remontant variety and self-fertile. Itproduces large quantities of pollen throughout the seasons andpollination is generally good as there are very few malformed fruit.
